Moreover the story from Trunk News found Mr. Baah Wiredu, Minister of Finance and Economic Planning in the 12th of September 2008 edition of the Daily Graphic worth quoting. It claimed that he was modest about the increment in petroleum prices (2,800% per annum) during the 19 year rule of the (P)NDC.

We are told that precisely, the cumulative increment was well over 51,900% as compared to the well-managed economy under the Kufuor-led NPP administration, which has seen an increment of just over 100% per annum.

This Trunk News slant is misleading and must be corrected directly.

We would like Ghanaians to know that the PNDC was a Liberal-Conservative Government, which spawned both NDC and NPP. Both parties therefore in their roots share the 51,900% increment. Moreover, any attempt to separate the NDC and NPP in terms of economic policies and macroeconomic prices is a free market fraud. There is none.

The Ghanaian Majority remain poor. These percentages mean nothing. The Conservative-Liberal Consequences remain the same for all.

We call on all to reject the preposterous argument.

It is time the Ghana Statistical Service under the able leadership of Dr. Grace Bediako is properly funded to provide national figures that cannot be subject to such political chicanery.
